The Emergency Medicine Resident Podcast is dedicated to all things for and about the emergency medicine resident, and is a resource for emergency medicine educators. Our goal is to give you everything you need to succeed in residency and beyond, while giving educators a place to go for educational content.

In Episode 18, we take a look at the ingestions and insertions - both accidental and not - that make their way into the GI tracts of your patients. This is by no means a comprehensive review of all things toxicology that can affect the GI system. Rather, we focus on ingestions, foreign bodies, and whether or not GI decontamination actually helps.
